In 2012, he underwent a cardiac ablation, with abnormal tissue in the left atrium of his heart being cauterized to stop generation of abnormal electrical signals.<\/p>\n<p>The defending World Series champion Braves signed the longtime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/los-angeles-dodgers\">Los Angeles Dodger<\/a> to a $16 million deal in the offseason. Janson, 34, has 370 career saves to go with a stellar 2.43 earned run average. The three-time all-star led the National League in saves in 2017, when he finished fifth in the voting for the Cy Young award, a rarity for a relief pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday night, Janson surrendered two runs to his former team in the ninth inning to blow a 2-0 lead in what turned out to be an 11-inning, 5-3 loss for the Braves.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves are likely to turn to left-handed former closer Will Smith or A.J.
